Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Chapter 16 You are so brave

"Honey, please don't be like this. She's my daughter. I haven't told you about her, but you know I wasn't young when we got together. How could I not have children? Besides, you've never even asked me."

Yu Manman was terrified, but seeing her daughter so frightened—who had initially called out "Mother" when she first saw her, but now too scared to utter a single word—she was deeply distressed.

Cheng Yunmo sighed. No one could see her, and there was nothing she could do.

When the man heard his wife speak to him like that, a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he looked directly at Yu Manman's daughter with murderous intent.

"I didn't ask. Fine, you can have children in other people's homes, but how come you haven't had a baby at all in my family? What, you're calling me your daughter in front of so many people, are you trying to make me a laughingstock?"

As the man spoke, he had been holding back his anger for a long time, and he kicked Yu Manman's daughter directly!

Cheng Yunmo casually swung a broom at the side to block the man's foot, and then kicked the man's leg to prevent him from harming Yu Manman's daughter.

This happened so fast that no one had time to react.

The man let out a howl and collapsed to the ground, his terrified eyes scanning his surroundings.

He was already a little apprehensive when he was with Yu Manman, after all, she wasn't a woman from this era.

He clearly didn't know what suddenly appeared and kicked him hard.

Could it be Yu Manman's husband?

The man looked around in a panicked state, a sight Yu Manman had rarely seen before.

Seeing this scene, I felt nothing but relief. I never thought this man would have a day like this.

Yu Manman also looked at the empty living room. She had thought that the chair had almost hit her head and that the man had been kicked away in a different place was just an illusion. But now she realized that it had really happened.

She immediately knelt on the ground and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, although I don't know who you are."

Cheng Yunmo quickly stepped aside, refusing Yu Manman's courtesy. When she was about to reach out to help Yu Manman, she realized that she and Yu Manman could not make contact at all.

Then, what did she just kick at the man?

Yu Manman seemed to have thought of something, and quickly brought out a steaming bowl of rice from the kitchen and placed it on the table.

"If you don't mind, please accept this gift."

Just as Cheng Yunmo was about to say no, for some reason, looking at the steaming bowl of noodles and stir-fried vegetables, a feeling of sadness suddenly welled up in her heart.

She accepted it, and the bowl was immediately empty.

In the mission world, Cheng Yunmo held Cui Ming, who was carrying a baby. In the past two days, she had obtained a lot of crops in the space and intentionally or unintentionally left them for those who were still alive.

She kept it a secret, because she didn't want Cui Ming, such a small baby, to be discovered that he had been taken in by a monster like her.

I never expected that I would run into someone while carrying it on my back.

Cui Ming was picked up, and the woman, who looked to be around twenty years old, looked at the baby with great joy.

Cheng Yunmo was also quite frightened. Because he was worried that someone would think something was wrong, he had just put Cui Ming on a rock to the side.

Cui Ming was being held by the woman, who was giving him food.

"Mother, this child is so beautiful, it's a pity he was born in a year of famine, alas."

At this moment, Cheng Yunmo noticed that there was also an infant in their group. The child looked malnourished, but it was clear that they were being carefully cared for.

Even at a time like this, this woman can still be so kind.

Cheng Yunmo was about to take out some food when he noticed a bowl of steaming hot food.

She paused, stunned. Noodles and stir-fried vegetables?

Cheng Yunmo looked puzzled and placed the bowl of food directly in front of the woman.

"Manman, here's a bowl of rice!"

The old woman exclaimed with some surprise.

Yu Manman was also extremely surprised. She carefully held the child she had just picked up and looked around. "Thank you, benefactor."

The meal was divided into two portions, but the elderly woman couldn't bear to part with it, thinking she would give it all to her daughter.

"Mom, let's eat quickly, otherwise if someone with ulterior motives sees it, it won't end up in our stomachs."

After they had all eaten, Yu Manman fed Cui Ming some food before carefully putting him back in his original spot.

Cheng Yunmo watched Yu Manman and the others leave, then glanced down at Cui Ming's satisfied expression and couldn't help but chuckle.

It was at this moment that some changes suddenly occurred in the space.

Cheng Yunmo looked around the space and found several stainless steel buckets.

The stainless steel bucket was full of water, and there was also a large pot filled with steaming noodle soup.

She spent a lot of effort taking out the stainless steel buckets and food. By then, a lot of people had gathered around and were staring intently at her.

They could see it, but they couldn't touch it.

At this moment, DouDou looked at Cheng Yunmo and happily exclaimed, "Sister!"

By this time, DouDou's family was already used to it. DouDou's father immediately spoke up, "Everyone can only get food by working. Cultivating the fields is especially important, with the family at the center."

No one stayed around anymore; instead, they listened to DouDou's family and started cultivating the land.

After everyone dispersed, they realized that what Bean's father had said was true.

As long as they are truly busy with things on the barren mountain, they will get food.

There is also water, and everyone is in charge of the water.

The fields that had been cultivated were completely destroyed by the arrival of the shadow.

They realized they wouldn't go hungry, so they worked even harder. Some of them ate sparingly, saving food for their elderly and frail children at home.

Cheng Yunmo quickly noticed that the mist around her seemed to have dissipated considerably as the fields were developed, and her soul seemed to have become much clearer as well.

At this point, someone saw that less than a day had passed, yet the shadow was still drifting by.

Everyone was terrified and quickly ran away or hid.

Cheng Yunmo felt that the heat he was originally afraid of was no longer frightening, and even when he got close, he did not feel any pain.

She scooped up a large spoonful of water and approached the shadowy figure.

"Do you want a drink of water?"

The water did not evaporate in her hands; on the contrary, the other cultivated fields around her were completely wasted.

Cheng Yunmo felt a little sorry for him and led the shadow directly to the uncultivated area.

The shadow seemed curious about the water she brought, and actually followed her.

Cheng Yunmo saw that when the shadow drank the water, it was as if the fire had been extinguished. Not only did the heat around them stop, but the sky also rumbled and darkened, as if it was about to rain.

You can feel the gentle breeze blowing, though it's not strong.
